Hybrid Cloud Storage for Education

Morro Data’s global file system and cloud caching can sync a large amount of data among distributed workplaces. This also increases performance hundredfold compared to using slow remote VPN access. Instead of being physically present at the university, professors can now work and collaborate from home with the CacheDrive and bring the cloud to them while maintaining data consistency. Files are first locked, synced to all CacheDrives, and unlocked. Virtual Machine (VM) CacheDrive hosted on AWS allows scaling and integrating existing local hosted cloud resources, leveraging the CacheDrive and accessibility of the AWS internal networks for various file operations. Students can use Morro Connect to access the university network shares from anywhere, upload or download projects and homework assignments. The global file system presents the latest version to all users while preserving the previous versions, removing the need for manual update management. Morro Audit tracks all file access for record-keeping in a searchable cloud database in the event of user error or for retrospective investigation.

Low Latency

Latency between application and storage significantly impacts user productivity. With CacheDrive bringing the data to the user, data latency is significantly reduced compared to direct cloud access

CacheDrive Fast

Morro CacheDrive appliance is easy to deploy, offering up to 16TB of high-performance SSD/NVMe cache and up to 10GigE interconnect. VMs are available in VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure

Multi-sites File Sync and File Lock

Hybrid Classroom Collaboration

Morro Data supports application-level file locking across sites. With apps such as Microsoft Office, users will know when a file is in use and will not be able to overwrite it.

With versioning, users can recover files that are overwritten accidentally or look for an older version with data that was removed at a later time. Versioning also provides an instant, latest, good copy of the file anytime the file changes on their network shares.

Simple Access and File Transfer

We’ve made it easy for you with our dedicated desktop app, web portal, or simple share drive access. Just need to backup to the cloud or transfer files to another location? Replicate shares allow you to schedule your backups and take advantage of a lighter overhead, with an up to 2.5x speed increase over real-time Sync.
